How To Enter & Win Competitions With Loquax
So you want to enter competitions and hopefully win prizes but you're not sure where to begin? Well you've come to the right place! Loquax started life online in 1998 (yes it has been that long) and we've watched online comping change so much in those years. Originally competitions were few and far between but the prizes were quite good. Promoters were happy to giveaway big prizes and multiple small ones. However as websites mushroomed around the net more giveaways appeared. Then came Facebook and social media to revolutionise the web and comping.
Entering competitions back in the day consisted of visiting a website, adding your details and waiting for the wins. Now there's share, tag, comment, mobile apps, gleams, rafflecopters, blogs, spam, cheating, automated entries, voting issues etc. This means that comping can become quite a confusing and frustrating hobby. But the good news is that the fundamentals remain the same. You visit a site or brand, perform an action and wait for the wins to roll in!
As Loquax has grown over the years we've created various help guides and information about online comping. To be honest we've not been as proactive in this area as we could be. The hobby keeps evolving and maintaining an up to date and covers all aspects of comping guide is quite tough. There are also numerous other guides, tips and hints out there which we think can't really be bettered. But we do have some useful information to share and you'll find it all linked here.
